We’re diving into the action-packed weekend in Miami at 2025 Miami Grand Prix and Sprint weekend in this episode of The Critical Lap! Oscar Piastri pulls off a hat trick with three GP wins in a row, Lando Norris has to settle for a Sprint win, and Lewis Hamilton has another great Sprint (why can't he do that in a GP?). Max Verstappen is wondering "can defense win a championship?" It was a weekend packed with action on and off the track.
We tackle listener questions and hot topics like:
- Why is Hamilton so consistently strong in Sprint races this season?
- Are the stewards keeping F1 controversial on purpose with inconsistent penalties?
- Is Piastri's calmer approach better than Norris' brilliance when going head-to-head with Verstappen?
Join us as we get into the real weekend headliner: the Lego Grand Prix Drivers Parade, an intense Ferrari vs. Williams scrap, and a contender for the sassiest radio messages of the season. We wrap up with the biggest question of all: what should we name this Miami track? (Remember—two crocs for every Florida man 🐊).
